knowing the particular Scheme of the Design.
We Desire you to Signifie your Resolutions hereon; That
(if we Agree in Our Sentiments concerning it) We may
Desire the Favour of his Honr the Governr to Communicate
the same to Virginia, that we may not Lose the Benefit of so
usefull a Work for want of a Right Understanding of it, or
of falling in to proper Methods to Effect it.
Gentlemen. The Mention that is made in the Address of
An Application made by some Considerable Persons in Mary-

versation by some Gentlemen of that Government with some

where such a Projection as this is was mentioned as a Con-
veniency; and such we Esteem it: but we know of Nothing
that has been done by way of Application on that foot.
